  1. Vaccination Mandating

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think posting being replied to referred to staffing issues being fixed, not the fact that COVID is contagious. To that end, the number of DKA, COPD, CHF, etc., in the non-compliant patient category...

  2. Covid Omicron Variant

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Thursday On 12/8/2021 at 11:59 AM, RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN said: you quoted me Would it be more correct to refer to this as an endemic rather than pandemic at this point? Your...

  3. Covid Omicron Variant

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Very sad about your friends family. Who is chastising people who ask? Did I say I would? Why did you bring it up in response to my post? I think I made it very clear I could careless about peoples...

  4. Covid Omicron Variant

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Definitely not. I'm vaccinated. Most I know are. Some aren't. They are still family and friends. If they have symptoms they know enough to keep their distance. Otherwise, why did I get vaccinated? It...

  5. Covid Omicron Variant

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Since this thread is about the Omicron variant, thought I would add something very relevant. I would think anyone who values science and intellect over emotion would strongly consider what these...

  6. Covid Omicron Variant

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to MunoRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Would it be more correct to refer to this as an endemic rather than pandemic at this point? COIVD is not going to be eradicated via vaccine as polio, small pox, etc. It has more in common with endemic...

  7. I'm Done

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    MN is very fortunate to have a glut of nurses. Wish we did

  8. I'm Done

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not sure what you mean by a Mary's opinion website, but two of the three sources I listed were, what I would think a registered nurse would consider reputable: Journal of Clinical Nursing and the AACN...

  9. Vaccination Mandating

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hoosier, agree with you all the way. I'll take the unvaxxed COVID patients if they take all the non-compliant CHF/COPD/Dialysis, etc. patients. I'll have the smaller number of patients on a consistent...

  10. I'm Done

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will have to respectfully disagree with your opinion regarding no nursing shortage before COVID. The facts say otherwise regarding the nursing shortage existing LONG before COVID. COVID may have...

  11. I'm Done

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And oh by the way. those high $$$ agency nurses are not just excess nurses sitting around waiting for a job opening and then taking jobs. No, they are ICU, ED, Med-Surg nurses in my and your hospitals...

  12. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am assuming you are vaccinated. If that is the case, the chances are very low that you will get truly sick from COVID. That is what the CDC, the medical experts at leading health institutions, and...

  13. Can I still be a great nurse without prior CNA experience?

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to azulaflameRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Over course you can. The CNA experience would certainly have been a benefit, but that is not what makes one a great nurse. A genuine drive and desire to be your best is required. Neve settle for good...

  14. Dilutions/ Med Info

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to NewNurse_20's topic in Emergency

    When in doubt, consult the Pharm D. He or she is the expert who is qualified to answer the question regarding medications and their administration. I know in our EMR system EPIC I can look in the MAR...

  15. Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I disagree with anti-vaxxers who argue about efficacy and safety of vaccines including the COVID vaccines. I am currently waiting for my booster. That said, I am curious as to how they deprive anyone...

  16. Vaccination Mandating

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And again, to make sure I say it on the front end, I am a supporter of the vaccine and am vaccinated. The CDC data doesn't seem to support your statement that COVID is a leading cause of death in...

  17. Vaccination Mandating

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Would love to see your source for "Covid infection is currently one of the leading causes of death in children" because I don't think the current data supports that. I am now looking to see if there...

  18. Vaccination Mandating

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's also responsible to provide all available information so that Joe Public see that no one is trying to hide anything and therefore can trust the information he gets from folks who are...

  19. Vaccination Mandating

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Plausible is a magic word? This information is from the CDC. My point was simply to provide the information available that shows there are valid concerns about the vaccine. Nothing more, nothing less....

  20. Vaccination Mandating

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The following is from the CDC website: For public awareness and in the interest of transparency, CDC is providing timely updates on the following serious adverse events of interest:...

  21. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually, yes, you were "talking to me" as your response was directly linked to my post, in which I referenced Merck's new anti-viral. Jeez, and you call people irrational and illogical in other...

  22. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I sure don't. And it does not have to be a military organization to do that. It's not about patriotism either. Did I even mention that word? Does it even appear in the dictionary next to camaraderie?...

  23. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What did my post say? Take the pill not the vaccine? NO. Let me quote myself: “Hopefully Merck's new anti-viral will get approval for use and will be another weapon that will get us one step...

  24. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    TOOMUCH. I think you may have misunderstood my point. Camaraderie, loyalty, etc., is not to the institution, its' to one another. Comradery definition is - a feeling of...

  25. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    RETNAVYTHENMEDIC2RN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wow, That is crazy. Hard to imagine having to fly patients out for care, but heard a traveler that recently came to our ED talking about it as well. Sorry you guys are getting hammered there as I...
